Feb 16-18: All Sorts of Painting

Blogging today as I wait for jury duty.  Whee. 

This past weekend and the week preceding it, I worked on a bunch of different stuff.

I stalled and did a random watercolor of Darth Maul.  By the way, watercolors should be blended while they're still wet.  I went to blend some things after it dried and well, there was some major correcting.  Maul is gonna be an extra piece to sell at a booth in the future.   I never have extra art to just sell.

I then tackled the oil painting for Mr. Rao.  It's a good thing I didn't ship it.  His eyes were way too far apart.  Way.  So I went in and moved them almost a whole inch.  Geez.  Added some shading, but mostly fixed his eyes.  Eyes should be an eye-width apart.  Any closer or farther,  their face will look weird. 

I also started a fairly large painting that'll eventually have 2 Air Force seals on it.  Did the background in acrylic,  pretty basic.  Glad to get away from oils for a while.

Lastly,  I began another piece last night.  It's Yoda...but he's made up of really tiny words.  All Yoda quotes. It's gonna be awesome, but it'll cramp the heck out of your hand!  Once done,  it'll also be an extra to sell.  It's nice to do some nerd art for a change.
